Meng Tian fought bravely on the battlefield in front, and Takagi and others also worked hard to make catapults in the rear, although the speed was relatively slow, but every few days a catapult would be made, and then transported by soldiers to the front battlefield for Meng Tian.

This battle has been going on for more than a month, and Meng Tian has won many battles, large and small, and this is also the first time that Meng Tian has won the war with the Xiongnu so easily.

Although with the help of catapults, the doubts in Meng Tian's heart grew bigger and bigger, because Meng Tian found that this time the Xiongnu's strategy was very different from the past.

The number of opponents sent each time was very small, and they retreated in an orderly and fast manner, so although Meng Tian was a good result every time, in fact, the Xiongnu side did not lose much.

In the past month or so, there have been seven catapults that have been delivered to Meng Tian one after another, but Meng Tian has not relaxed because of this.

On this day, Meng Tian won again, but Meng Tian did not have much joy in his heart, because the doubts in Meng Tian's heart became bigger and bigger.

Meng Tian always felt that something bad would happen, so after the victory, Meng Tian summoned all the generals to the camp to discuss.

Meng Tian looked at the map in front of him, his brows furrowed deeply, and he always felt that this battle was different, as if the other party had already made sufficient preparations, just waiting to invite you into the urn.

"General Meng, do you think there's anything wrong?" The generals present were all Meng Tian's confidants.

They have followed Meng Tian to fight countless wars, large and small, and already know Meng Tian very well, seeing Meng Tian's deep frown, they know that the general they follow must have noticed something different.

And they believe in Meng Tian very much, because he not only has the title of the god of war, not only is he brave and strategic, Meng Tian has a good understanding of marching and fighting, and what is even more terrifying is his intuition.

"This time against the Huns, we won too easily." Meng Tian said directly, Meng Tian had already begun to suspect that there was fraud during this period.

"And that's thanks to the catapults made by a couple of gentlemen in the barracks, and with this stuff, we won so easily." General Lin opened his mouth and said, this is also what the other generals are thinking.

"It's our blind spot." Meng Tian listened to General Lin's words, and immediately shook his head and said.

"General Meng, what do you say?" Hearing Meng Tian's words, all the generals present had some flustering in their minds, and General Lin asked again.

"Before, because we had catapults, we were defeated and retreated from the enemy's army, and we were happy in our hearts, and I didn't think that this might be the enemy's strategy to lure the enemy." Meng Tian didn't hide it much, Meng Tian didn't have the slightest suspicion about the few generals present, because they were Meng Tian's henchmen and were trained by Meng Tian himself.

Listening to Meng Tian's words, the generals present all fell into deep thought, if there was no reminder from Meng Tian before, maybe they themselves hadn't realized it until now, but after Meng Tian's reminder, after careful consideration, the generals found that what Meng Tian said was right.

I was indeed misled because of the catapult, this war is indeed very strange, and the previous strategy of the Huns is completely different, this time the Huns are not trying their best to fight at all, but every time they retreat quickly, let their side easily win.

The generals glanced at each other, and their hearts suddenly became clear, and the sister's war was suspicious.

Meng Tian saw that everyone had considered the problem they had thought of, and his heart was satisfied for a while, so he spoke again: "If I hadn't miscalculated, the Xiongnu would have known that we had catapults, so they opened it

At first, they didn't plan to fight with all their might, but they had already thought of countermeasures. ”

"General Meng, how could the Huns know about the existence of catapults?" General Lin asked with a puzzled expression.

The faces of the others were also full of doubts, because this catapult was successfully developed in the military camp, and no one had seen it except their own soldiers, so how could the Huns know in advance?

"Could it be that there is a spy in our barracks?" General Wu asked with a worried expression.

"Impossible." General Lin listened to General Wu's words, and immediately said: "These soldiers live and die together with us, and it is absolutely impossible for them to be spies. ”

After listening to General Lin's words, General Wu didn't say anything anymore, because what General Lin said was irrefutable, all the brothers in the Meng family army were born and died together, and there could never be a traitor or a spy, and General Wu also felt that he might have been too anxious just now to say such a thing.

"Perhaps." Meng Tian listened to everyone's discussion, his brows furrowed deeply, it couldn't be that there was a problem in his own military camp, then the Xiongnu got the information of the catapult in advance, it could only be that there was a problem in Xianyang City, if this is the case, then the situation is even more serious, Meng Tian said with a serious face: "It's not a military camp, but Xianyang City." ”

"General Meng, do you mean to say that there are spies in Xianyang City?" Listening to Meng Tian's words, the generals frowned.

If it is really as Meng Tian said, it is really a spy in Xianyang City, then the situation will be even more serious.

"You look at this map, in the past few months, we have been attacking continuously, and the Xiongnu have been defeated one after another, although they have retreated a little chaotically, but if you look closely, you can see that they are actually retreating purposefully." Meng Tian pointed to the direction of the previous Xiongnu retreat and said.

Several generals stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, as Meng Tian said, because of many victories before, they didn't notice it, but now they found that they seemed to have been led into a valley by the enemy, and they had a feeling of being asked to catch turtles.

Meng Tian where they are now, like a small valley, Meng Tian they have just arrived here, they were attacked by the Huns, although they quickly retreated from the enemy, but because the road is not easy to walk, the catapult did not keep up, and this time the Huns attack seems to have seen this problem, the attack is very fierce, despite the retreat of the enemy, Meng Tian They also had to stop and make adjustments.

"General Meng." General Lin pointed to the map and said, "Look here, is there a path on it?" ”

Meng Tian took a closer look at the place General Lin pointed to, and indeed there seemed to be a trail that had been abandoned for a long time, and he hadn't paid attention to it before, and he almost ignored it.

"That's not right." When Meng Tian saw this trail, the alarm bell sounded in his heart, and he said with a serious face: "Look at the direction that this trail is connected to. ”

"That's where we retreated the other day." General Wu could see at a glance that the direction that this trail led to was the place where the victory had been achieved a few days earlier.

"If the defeated Huns enter this trail directly, they will definitely reach here a few days faster than us." When General Lin thought of this, his face was serious.

The breath in the camp was low, as General Lin said, either at this time, his position was already surrounded by the Huns.

"If that's the case, why haven't they done anything yet?" General Wu asked incomprehensibly.

If this is the case, why didn't the Huns, who had just launched an attack, come to catch turtles in an urn, but just blocked themselves in this mountain col, and they immediately retreated

Finish.

"They're afraid they're waiting for a catapult." Meng Tian said.

Obviously you can attack, but you don't do it, then there is only one explanation, that is, the other party is waiting, and the catapult is coming.

As long as they occupy a high position here, the catapult does not have any effect, and it seems that the other party also wants to get the catapult.

"We retreat now." General Wu spoke, his tone already full of anxiety.

"It's too late." Meng Tian shook his head, now he was only afraid that as long as he made a slight move to retreat, the opponent would attack.

"Are we just trapped?" General Wu said unwillingly: "Even if this is the case, the grain and grass we brought will not be supplied at all, we will not have much grain and grass in the first place, and the follow-up grain and grass will not be sent in time, and if this continues, I am afraid that we will all be wiped out." ”

As General Wu said, Meng Tian originally didn't bring much grain and grass, and he obviously said that he would transport it later, but the war had been more than a month, and Xianyang City had no grain and grass support at all, so even if he was not defeated by the enemy, he would be starved to death.

"Now that the situation has been decided, don't think about it yet, it's even more important to rush into the current predicament." Meng Tian also knew in his heart that Meng Tian now knew that someone must have done something wrong, and this time he was afraid that life and death would be uncertain.

"General Meng, what should we do now?" General Wu has a somewhat impatient temper, so he has begun to be a little irritable.

"Wait until it gets dark." Meng Tian opened his mouth and said: "The catapult is difficult to transport, and it will not be able to arrive for a while, if the other party grabs it, it may not necessarily wait, so when it gets dark, we will have a chance." ”

"What do you mean, General Meng?" General Lin listened to Meng Tian's words, and already guessed a little bit in his heart what Meng Tian was thinking.

"Give the order, and when it gets dark, everyone will immediately extinguish the torches." Meng Tian had already thought of a plan, and then said to everyone: "When the time comes, I will extinguish it, and we will divide our troops into two routes, you immediately retreat back with people, and I will bring a team of men and horses to this path." ”

"No, it's too dangerous." Listening to Meng Tian's words, the generals present immediately shook their heads and refused.

"This is a military order." Meng Tian said with a majestic face: "No matter what happens at that time, you must retreat, and if anyone violates the military order, it will be dealt with by military law." ”

"General Meng." General Lin still wanted to argue about something, but Meng Tian waved his hand to stop him, and then said to everyone: "I have made up my mind, I don't need to say more, as long as you retreat as soon as possible, nothing will happen to me." ”

"Yes." The generals present all knew Meng Tian's temper, and since Meng Tian had already decided, they would not change it, so they said to Meng Tian with a respectful salute.

"You go down and make arrangements, and we'll act as soon as it gets dark." Meng Tian asked all the generals to go down to make arrangements, and then only General Lin was left.

"I don't know, what else does the general command?" General Lin asked.

"General Lin." Meng Tian looked at General Lin and said: "You are the most thoughtful of everyone, if I still haven't come back after you retreat, protect Takagi and they retreat to the border city gate to wait for me, everything is up to you." ”

After Meng Tian finished speaking, he gave the token on his waist to General Lin, and then looked at him with a serious face.

"The last general obeys the order, and must swear to protect the gentlemen, guard the city gate, and wait for the general's return." General Lin knelt down, took the token in Meng Tian's hand with a serious face, and said.
